NY WHEATFIELD — Wheatfield Zoning Board of Appeals unanimously denies garage variance for Joshua Lane property. Applicant Rich Sicignano sought to reduce the required 15-foot side yard setback to four feet for an attached garage structure. Neighbor Anthony Barone opposed the request, citing visual impact concerns and noting a potential property buyer's lack of interest in the variance.
The five-member board found the request constitutes a self-created hardship with fire safety implications and determined the structure would create a detrimental wall-like effect on neighborhood character.
